Note: For those who missed it, this first appeared as a reply under Serenitys' " of ecstacy with my eyes closed " having been inspired by her wonderfully creative verb " dervishing "

                

                Spun from Stone

Abruptly been awakened, dervishing out of a dream
with vacant eyes unfocused as of yet upon this world,
to slice through fog like layers, comprehension it would seem
arrives an instant later as I peer from this fascade.

With frozen stone of talons fastened tightly to this ledge,
await their grip to loosen as the hour comes to close.
To glide the night air currents, freed again from anchorage
All Hallows' Eve rejoining this, the world of flesh and bone.

Too long enslaved by those who scurry mindlessly below,
my pulse begins to quicken as I watch them from above.
The dervishing intensifies, each molecule aglow,
long centuries behind me now I'm weightless to the skies.

An instrument of mythos having found the means for flight
Exhilarant I circle, dervishing into the night.

I can just feel this. Beautifully vivid!
